DVDs

Really Wild Animals from National Geographic comes as a set of six DVDs, each featuring two programmes lasting about 40 minutes. The creatures in question range from frogs to dolphins, polar bears and chimps, and the films, made by 'leading wildlife photographers', take in locations all over the world, including North America, tropical rainforests, Africa and Australia. The commentary, fronted by a talking globe named Spin complete with pith helmet, invites children to consider all the amazing attributes that animals possess and seeks to explain, in simple terms, why they behave as they do and need furry coats or, in the case of the skunk, a self-defence spray. Choose from Farmyard Friends/Swinging Safari; Awesome Animal Builders/Secret Weapons & Great Escapes; Totally Tropical Rainforest/Amazing North America; Hot Dogs & Cool Cats/Monkey Business & Other Family Fun; Polar Prowl/Wonders Down Under; Dinosaurs & Other Creature Features/Deep Sea Dive, or collect the set. Priced 5.99 each from retailers or direct from DD Home Entertainment.
